We’ve Been Overtaken!

Bloggy friends, your generosity is simply amazing!!

Look at our living room:

That is the backpacks and snack bags that have arrived {so far!}.   Dw did a rough measurement and it is approximately 15′ x 8′ x 3′ of boxes {not all are pictured}.

SOOOOOOO……

We have a HUGE request….if you have not shipped backpacks and snack bags, please hold them!  {If you just shipped them today, no problem.  BUT if you have not shipped yet, we are unable to receive anymore!}   

You guys have been amazing!

So please, please, please, hold any that have not been sent.   {If you have made up snack bags, distributing them to the homeless in your area, would be a great blessing, I’m sure.}

Thank you so much!!

Your overwhelming love for the orphan is incredible and we are all forever grateful!

We will have orphan-loving friends help unpack/repack all the boxes and squish them in suitcases…

We are so grateful for all who participated.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!

PS Can you find my little Elijah in the pile?  He was giggling as he hid amongst the pile.

  1. We were just about to go get more snacks to finish packing our bags — never got to ship ours out — but no worries! We will find a good place to distribute them locally!! God is good!!

  2. How awesome!!! Praise The Lord! So fun to see the overflow of love (His Love), only to be poured out to the least of these in this world. They will be so excited!!!!! AHHH! 🙂 Praying for the mission team. (For new brothers and sisters in Christ for all eternity, for physical, mental, emotional, spiritual protection of the team and for His Spirit to lead the way.) He will move mightly! He is able 😉

  3. Oh boy! Just sent four back packs two days ago. Would a donation for extra luggage help or are there just too many to carry? Wish I lived nearby to help going through it all and packing them.

  4. Bummer. I emailed Emma Sunday for the new address to send mine to. And they so won't have the same affect on local homeless with the notes and stickers I had added. Hehe. So great that so many sent in though!

  5. If there are overflowing backpacks and snacks that has already been purchased, perhaps you can give out the address of Ssenge orphanage or a place in Uganda where someone ministers to streetkids (like Lyuuta your son, sorry I forget the spelling of his name) and they would very gladly minister to the street kids?

  6. Whats the chances of holding on to the backpacks until you all go again? Michelle already had hers and I just ordered one yesterday. Made up some really cute little scripture tags to hang on the backpacks and lamenated some pictures with little letters on the back. Im so excited that you had such a great show of love from everyone. Hope we can send ours with the next batch. : )
